   What an incredible evening! From the top notch, thoughtful service to the outstanding food, we had a fantastic evening celebrating my mom’s birthday. The Spinasse team went above and beyond to make our evening so special!

   The event was very interesting and overall a good experience for us. We had no issue with the family-style setting. However, some guests were uncomfortable sharing dishes placed near them, even when there were leftovers. This was partly due to the servers not distributing the dishes evenly across the long table that seated 16 people. Such oversight was unexpected from a high-end restaurant. Additionally, the food quality did not meet the standards of a four- or five-star ($$$$) establishment. The flavors and presentation were more in line with a mid-range ($$) restaurant, making it feel overpriced for what was offered. By comparison, we dined at Canlis the following day—a true five-star ($$$$) restaurant—and experienced a significantly higher level of service and culinary quality for only a slightly higher price than what we paid at Spinasse.

   They made my girlfriend’s 24th birthday so special and made us both Mandham with the authentic Piedmontesque semiya-esque food

   Great cuisine, presentation, and service. After cocktails we had the antipasto sampler, which was delicious and well composed. Then two pastas, cavatelli and tajarin bolognese. The mains were salmon and lombatello. We finished with the rhubarb pie and chocolate cake. It was a wonderful dinner but not sure it was worth $350 for two persons.

    Well, this place really blew me away. This is gonna be a bit rambling, but I just need to gush about how amazing this place is. I decided to go here to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week and treat myself to a nicer dinner than usual. I’m extremely glad I did. Service: One of the ways Spinasse shines best is through its incredibly friendly and helpful staff. My server’s name was Aidan, and they were consistently on the mark. They suggested I get half portions of two of the pastas I had trouble deciding between and it was excellent. Furthermore, they also suggested the torta al cioccolato which was absolutely heavenly. If Aidan is any indication of the other staff members, this is one of those rare restaurants where you could say, “surprise me” and be absolutely blown away. Now onto the food: I started with the Prosciutto di Parma, and it was the first dish in which I noticed a trend in all their food: Balance. The prosciutto was served with thin apple slices, which isn’t entirely out of the ordinary. However the inclusion of the mustard seeds and the black currant vinaigrette made for a medley of flavors that played together amazingly. This was followed by a pair of dishes, the funghi salati and the half order of the tajarin Al ragu. Both showed even more of this expert balancing of flavors, and they had been sent out at the same time so that their flavors could also interact. The ragu was exactly what you would want, and the pasta so incredibly delicate that I’m still shocked it was possible to make. Finally, they brought out my final half-order of Cavatelli, and this dish is something unique to me. It’s comforting in the way a hearty meal is in winter, and yet it’s light in a way that makes it fitting for summer. Typically I think of foods as either one or the other, but this was special, and absolutely knocked it out of the park. At Aidan’s recommendation, I ordered the torta al cioccolato. They honestly could sell the hazelnuts on their own.
